Its been a few weeks now since Luke has woken up from a coma and it's been the most amazing feeling in the world, finally having my mate back by side and helping me with all the pack business. I can finally relax. I finish up my work and look at Luke working just as hard as he did when I first met him. That's one of the reasons I love him. He does his work and does it correct and well. A banging on the door shakes me out of my dreamlike state admiring Luke and I walk to the door opening it. Chase is standing at the door covered in blood from head to toe and panting " you.... and.... Luke..... need to come now.... " he gets out between each pant. Before I even look at Luke he's up out of his chair and walking out the door. Chase tries to calm myself " down by the lake... that's where it is" he says and follows Luke. I run after them and catch up quickly as they aren't walking too fast and I grab lukes hand afraid of what is going to greet us at the lake. Everything has changed since the attack, people are more scared, no one does anything alone. Yes we won but that doesn't mean no one is afraid. Lots of people were lost that day and we almost lost our Alpha. As we near the lake the sobbing of a women is clear, she is laying over something, I take a deep breath and walk over kneeling beside the women and prying her away from the body of her dead son " shush shush it's okay " i whisper gently rubbing her back soothingly " we have to examine the body". I look at the young boy, his name was Jason. He was an exceptional young man and was rising through the ranks of his class in fighting and class studies but now he's throat was torn open in two huge claw slashes. Luke kneels down and closes the boys eyes gently as a sign of respect " moon goddess take care of our son" he whispers gently and nods and chase and Darren to cover the body and remove him to the infirmary.

Consoling a women who has just lost her son in an obvious brutal attack is impossible. She screams and cries and hits me begging me to help her son " my beautiful boy hes gone.... bring him back please " she sobs. " my boy my baby my baby boy" with eyes full of rage "find the bastard who did this". That's one thing I could do for sure and when I do find who did this he or she will get the same fate as my father did. "I promise I will find the person who did this" I say helping her up and taking her to the infirmary for the doctor to give her a mild sedative to calm her down. I mindlink our security "find out who got on our territory and why you didn't find them and stop them before the killed one of our pack members!". I hear a few faint "yes Luna" and I lay her down gently in the bed. Luke walks inside and sits beside her "Mrs Williams did you see anyone or anything when you found your son" he asks gently.

After a few hours of trying to get answers out of mrs Williams, Luke and I are going through the security footage l put up in the area for this exact reason. "Wait stop go back there" I rewind the footage to a few minutes previously and watch as a small figure wearing black and a hood over there head coming out from the trees with another big figure covered in black also. The bulky figure looks up at the camera and has a mask over his face and waves mocking the camera. I look at Luke "they knew the cameras. No one knows about them apart from us, chase, Darren and the security team. Babe we have to look at this as an inside job also" I say sighing running a hand through my hair.

Luke wraps his arm around me "we will get through this baby. I promise you" he whispers gently and looks at our border control " take shifts. I want five wolves on guard at all times. Find who did this" he commands and pulls me onto his lap. " please be safe baby I can't lose you again" I whisper snuggling close into his chest. Luke nods and pulls me even closer "I will be safe baby I promise I'm not going anywhere again" he says while nuzzling his face into my neck to calm his wolf down. I play with his hair rewatching the security footage over and over again trying to figure out what these two people are after. My mum walks into the security room "hi sweetie" she says kindly and places a hand on my shoulder "I heard what's happened. I'm so sorry" she says. I shrug off her hand catching the strange stench again I got when she first walked into the room. I glance at Luke from the corner of my eye to see if he caught the same smell. He gives me a slight now and I take my mums hand gently pretending I'm upset and need support.

She squeezes my hand and I grip her hand tightly and roughly and look under her nails finding dry blood "it was you" I growl jumping at her. She pulls out a blade and holds it out in front of her "Bruce is at the nursery, if he doesn't hear from me in five minutes all those pups will be killed" she spits venomously. I growl and stand beside Luke. The alarms sound loudly throughout the pack grounds making me look at the monitors seeing wolves beginning to attack. My mother escapes from the room and my wolf begins to take over. I growl loudly and shift into my wolf and dive out of the window beginning to join in on the fight. I quickly kill any wolf who attacks me or tries to hurt one of my pack members. I make my way towards the nursery to get the kids out of there and get them to safety. I shift back into my wolf and run into the nursery beginning to evacuate the children along with the teachers. A strangled cry echoes throughout the room sending a chill down my spine. I do a quick scan of the room and see Bruce standing at the edge of the room holding a little girl with a knife to her throat. " let her go" I growl walking towards him. Bruce laughs and digs the knife into her throat a little harder making her cry in pain. I charge forwards and grabbing the knife hissing as it burns and punches Bruce hard sending him crashing into the wall. The little girl runs to her teachers and I walk to Bruce slitting his throat easily and makes sure the kids are safe.

I run back towards the past house to help Luke and everyone else when I eat attacked from the side by my mother. I throw my arms up blocking my face and chest to stop her biting and clawing at me. I growl and kick her off me and grab her by the throat "why are you doing this?" I snarl viciously. She cackles "Bruce and I are going to become leaders of this pack once we kill you and your stupid mate". I smirk and punch her across the face "I've killed Bruce! He is dead and you are never going to take over this pack because I'm going to kill you too!" I screech and punch her again harder and harder. "I trusted you! I gave you another chance and you do this to me! You're just like him!" I scream, my blood boiling urging me to hurt her harder and make her feel the pain I'm feeling now. A sharp pain in my neck makes me stall for a second. I stumble back a couple of steps, my head becoming clouded and feeling woozy. My vision begins to blur and I lean heavily against a tree trying to get my balance back. I fall to my knees, my eyes beginning to close. A faint laugh echoes through my ears and I try to regain full control of my body but slowly begins to fall into the blackness that I've been trying to fight off. I slowly let go....
